Sixteen months after buying a former menswear shop on Haddon Avenue in the Westmont section of Haddon Township, Vince Tacconelli Sr. and his son, Vince Tacconelli Jr., have fired up the ovens at their second South Jersey pizzeria. Tacconelli’s opens Feb. 4 at 146 N. Haddon Ave., joining a crowded field of pizzerias stretching along the avenue’s commercial district from Collingswood to Haddonfield.
Working side by side in Maple Shade, the Tacconellis have built a tidy business with a menu that includes a few pastas, a few salads, house-made gelato and other desserts, and espresso. Like Maple Shade, this location is cash-only. The South Jersey locations are unrelated to the original Tacconelli’s on Somerset Street in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond section, run by Vince Sr.’s brother and his family.
